Development of a highly degenerate primer-based molecular tool for detecting and classifying the four major classes of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (phaC) genes in bacteria [PDF]

Microbial Cell Factories
Polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (phaC) gene encodes for PHA synthase enzyme which plays a key role in PHA polymerisation. To screen, unknown bacterial strains for their potential to produce PHAs, the presence of phaC gene is essential.

Polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (PhaC): The key enzyme for biopolyester synthesis

Current Research in Biotechnology, 2022
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are considered good candidates in replacing commercial petrochemical plastics in certain applications like single-use packaging since they are biodegradable, biocompatible and share similar properties with conventional ...

Structure of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase PhaC from Chromobacterium sp. USM2, producing biodegradable plastics [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a promising candidate for use as an alternative bioplastic to replace petroleum-based plastics. Our understanding of PHA synthase PhaC is poor due to the paucity of available three-dimensional structural information. Here we

Effect of mutation of phaC on carbon supply, extracellular polysaccharide production, and pathogenicity of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae

Scientific Reports
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causes bacterial blight in rice. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) consitute a diverse group of biopolyesters synthesized by bacteria under nutrient-limited conditions. The phaC gene is important for PHA polymerization.

Characterization and Homology Modeling of Catalytically Active Recombinant PhaC_Ap Protein from Arthrospira platensis

Biology, 2023
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer that has the potential to replace fossil-derived polymers. The enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of PHB are β-ketothiolase (PhaA), acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (PhaB), and PHA ...
